site overview
McArthur River Mining Pty Ltd (MRM) is a company wholly owned by the international GlencoreXstrata group and is the operator of the McArthur River zinc mine. Our operation mines the ‘Here’s Your Chance’ orebody, one of the world’s largest zinc and lead deposits.
Our underground operations started in 1995, with open pit development occurring during 2007-2008.
We are the world’s largest bulk producer of zinc in concentrate form, supplying 70% of global demand for a high-grade bulk zinc-lead-silver concentrate. Our concentrate is used by Imperial Smelting Process smelters in Europe and Asia to produce zinc and lead metal and alloys. In 2009, we began producing a new zinc concentrate for supply to electrolytic smelters.

Site Reviews
I worked there for one year,1997. Good plant, good people, good camp and good food, but that was when it was owned by MIM, I understand things may have changed a bit. Family hated the NT weather so had to leave.
Best food on site, hot food can be taken out of the dry mess. Old camp but there is basketball court, gym, pool, wet mess, etc. Plant is old but with new construction on now. Safety is a bit in the dark ages
